BON VOYAGE / ***

·

Murder, deceit and the backdrop of World War II frame Jean-Paul Rappeneau's latest release, "Bon Voyage." This fast-paced romp opens when Fr?d?ric Auger (Gr?gori Derang?re) receives a phone call from his former fling Viviane Denvert (Isabelle Adjani). In her hotel room, to his surprise, he finds that he is not only still in love with the now-famous actress, but there is also a dead body.

I'M NOT SCARED / ***

"I'm Not Scared" is an Italian film. It is, however, a drastically different picture of Italy than "innocent abroad" movies like "Under The Tuscan Sun" or "Stealing Beauty." It is the second international attempt by award-winning director Gabrielle Salvatores after his masterpiece "Mediterraneo" won the Oscar for best foreign film in 1991.

David W. Jacobsen, you're fired!

·

If Mike Judge had hired "Weird Al" Yankovic to write the soundtrack to "Office Space," it would have sounded something like David W. Jacobsen's "Cubicle Wonderland." This new album comes at a poignant time for many college students, for whom the album is presumably written to warn. Many seniors are looking for jobs and may suffer the same capitalistic, compartmentalized fate as Jacobsen.

Interview: Italian director takes parental role

It is 3:10 p.m EST, and Gabriele Salvatores walks out from the bedroom of his hotel suite to shake another interviewer's hand while simultaneously fighting a powerful yawn. It is his first visit to D.C., and his yawn belies the fact that he is actually handling the all-day press circuit exceptionally well.

MAN ON FIRE / 1/2

"Man on Fire" is a combination of clich?s and violence that fails on every level. There is very little that makes this film worth watching at all, save for the decent acting of the cast and the unintentional humor generated by the film's nonsensical story.

Breaking News: Fire in Anderson Hall

Updated 1:45 a.m. A fire sent Southside residents out of their rooms Monday night. At least six emergency vehicles responded to the alarm which went off at 10:55. Students were allowed back into the halls as of 11:50, although there were mixed messages about when students could reenter. Smoke was seen in the hall in Anderson Hall 3 North just prior to the alarm, according to students who watched the trucks from outside the SIS Annex. The fire was caused by a lamp that was too close to a bed, according to students who live near the site of the fire.

'Reefer Madness' commits itself to DVD

Over the years, "Reefer Madness" has become less a movie and more of a cultural artifact. Originally, the church affiliated with R&H Studios released the film in 1938 as propaganda to alert good Christians to the pitfalls of marijuana use.

Guapo's, Passport, Platinum: Delving into Local Dives

Let's face it. When it comes to Friday and Saturday night, campus life is sadly lacking in the social department. Sure there are going to be several rooms packed with drunk kids, passing around a bottle of illegally obtained vodka. But if it's the razzle-dazzle nightlife you are looking for, jump on the shuttle and head into the city.

Lakers take all

The Los Angeles Lakers aren't the favorite to win the NBA title. Did I stutter? No two ways about it. Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal are not part of the team to beat this year. Instead, Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell form the one-two punch that will be most feared, at least according to seedings.
